Just like clockwork. Perpetual snow for 3+ months. Love how these people just take it in stride. They just drive in it and scrape the roads after each event. No chemicals put on the roads to ruin their vehicles.

This is wildly off topic but good to hear. My wife and I talk about moving somewhere more rural when the kids are older, and getting out of the silver spring rat race. I don't know where you lived in Rockville, but how do you feel about all the driving you have to do in a rural area? The biggest thing we like about where we live is we can walk to schools with the kids, and walk to a lot of daily errands like the post office, grocery, library, health and personal appointments, etc. I really don't drive much. I think I would get over the driving because I grew up in a place like that, but my wife didn't. Anyway, off topic but I hope you get a lot of snow and it sounds like the trade-offs were worth it to GTFO from the DMV inner suburbs.

I love the driving lol. It's peaceful, beautiful and fun. No traffic so trips to stores always take the same amount of time. It's very predictable. I'm 30 mins each way to all the majors (wally, lowes, Kroger, etc) and an hour each way to 2 decent sized cities (roanoke, lynchburg). We've learned to be efficient by combining errands and avoiding any single store trip. We generally only run into town 1-2 days a week tops. 

Not much walking for errands but we walk in the woods or around the lakes daily with the dog. Lots of outdoors stuff for foot travel but if we need to buy anything it's a drive. 

I was 100% sick of driving anywhere in the metro region lol. 5 miles took 20+ minutes and I was surrounded by impatient jerks or people not even looking at the road lol. Here, it's just sightseeing with a few cars and trucks here and there.  Totally relaxed and pretty scenery everywhere. You can drive as fast or slow as you want. I rarely see police and when I do they all wave lol. Speed limits are just suggestions on the back roads. The driving experience itself is night and day compared to the DMV so even though it's 60 miles round trip for groceries the actual driving is only 60 mins with no stress or traffic.

Ravens game in Cincy on Sunday has an expected high of about 13. That doesn’t bode well for Lamar.

It sure doesn't, when it's 60 degrees he wears a ski cap. Oh boy.

@Jebmanthis is an all time jebman post/dispatch from the fringes of metropolitan coruscant, i mean Austin. Good luck to you down there. I havent been since 2017 and I guess I shouldn't go back!

Kyle/Buda TX is experiencing runaway construction. We are building far faster than Dubai in the UAE. By 2035 this place will be far worse than Dale City ever was. Taxes will be sky high. Traffic will be impenetrable and it will take hours and hours to get thru all the traffic lights just on 1626. Crime is on the geometric rise down here. People are becoming extremely weird at night. I see strange stuff all the time out at night delivering. I am scared to death because my physical health is in an aerodynamic scream. I won't have to worry about 2035. Groundwater will run out and water will be far more expensive than gas. There is no hope at all. Poor people like me can see the writing on the wall. It's obvious. The rich are getting out while they can. This entire region all around Austin is turning into a midden. They won't stop til every tree is gone and we are one big unhappy city like Coruscant in Star Wars. That's where we are heading. No way out. 

Been nice knowin' y'all. It was a nice ride. The end won't be.

Jebman checkin' on out. Very happy for ya Bob Chill. You did everything right, made all the correct decisions. I didn't. Wish I could change it but its too late for me. Writing's on the wall, now. I wore myself out walkin around and chasing snow and arctic weather and other ridiculous stuff. Now I am all played out and all washed up. I should never came back. Clubber Lang in Rocky III was an extremely wise man in what he said to Rocky. Too bad I never learned from it in time.

 

Anyhow, Mid Atlantic is in an epic season. You guys don't know it yet. West resorts are going under, because that Ridge will stay in place til August 2026. You guys are gonna FREEZE. It's gonnabe 1977 vodka cold but with a decent side of 2013-2014. Snow is gonna pile up all over Virginia, not just in Richmond. You all are gonna start out the New Year with brokebacks because of digging snow and that will only be a point to what remains: One frigid Siberian winter that will just never end, snow after snow after snow after snow and people fighting for parking spots and fighting for scraps left at the stores which will be utterly out of food because so many storms and not enough time to resupply. This winter, the Winter of 2025-2026, is what they never told you about. Now it is upon you. It's going to stay super cold and it will be weather system after weather system after weather system. It's gonnabe one of George BM's fevered snow blizzard dreams come true but it will be all too real.

You'll all find out soon enough.

 

This has been a Jebman Exclusive.

Carry on.

Snow forecast didn’t quite work out today, but snowed nicely off and on all day. Spent the evening at an Irish pub, was puking snow when I walked back to hotel.
